SOUTH KOREA

Yes, Indian citizens must apply for a South Korea tourist visa before traveling. This visa is required for leisure trips, K-pop concerts, exploring Seoul, Busan, Jeju Island, and other attractions. With Instaviza, you can apply online — we prepare your file, book your appointment, and guide you through every step for a smooth approval.

For tourism, you should apply for a South Korea Short-Term C-3 Visa (Tourist Visa). This visa allows you to stay up to 90 days for sightseeing, cultural experiences, and visiting family or friends. Instaviza helps you choose the right category and prepares your application correctly.

The average processing time is 10–15 working days after submitting biometrics and documents at the embassy or VFS center. Instaviza ensures your application is complete and error-free, reducing the risk of delays or rejection.

Typically, you will need:

• Valid passport (6 months validity, 2 blank pages)
• Completed visa application form (filled & signed)
• 2 passport-sized photographs (as per South Korea specifications)
• Cover letter stating purpose of visit
• Confirmed round-trip flight bookings
• Hotel reservations or invitation letter from host
• Bank statement (last 6 months) with sufficient funds
• ITR (if employed) or business documents (if self-employed)
• Travel insurance (recommended but optional)

Instaviza provides you a custom checklist and reviews every document before submission.

Yes, biometrics (fingerprints and photograph) are required for first-time applicants. Instaviza books your appointment at the nearest VFS center (Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai) for a smooth process.

The final application must be submitted physically via VFS or the embassy, but with Instaviza, you can complete 90% of the process online. We fill your forms, review your documents digitally, and schedule your appointment — you only visit once for biometrics and submission.

The South Korea visa fee for Indians is around ₹3,400, plus VFS service charges. With Instaviza’s service starting at ₹999, you also get document review, error-free application preparation, and expert guidance.

Yes, visa extensions are possible under certain circumstances (medical reasons, special events, flight cancellations). You must apply for an extension at the Korean Immigration Office at least before your current visa expires. Instaviza can guide you before you travel so you are well-prepared.

Rejections usually happen due to:

• Incomplete or false documentation
• Insufficient bank balance or financial proof
• Lack of clear travel itinerary
• Previous overstays or immigration violations

Instaviza minimizes rejection risk by preparing a strong, professional file and ensuring your documents meet embassy standards.
